Gut Analysis Toolbox enables semi-automated analysis of the neuronal and glial distribution within the gut wall (enteric nervous system). It uses a combination of FIJI macros, StarDist, CLIJ
and deepImageJ for segmentation and analysis.

You can also watch tutorials for GAT on Youtube.
What you can do with GAT:
- Semi-automated analysis of number of enteric neurons: Uses pan-neuronal marker Hu or anything with similar labelling
- Normalise counts to the number of ganglia.
- Count number of neuronal subtypes, such as ChAT, nNOS etc..
- Spatial analysis using number of neighboring cells.
- Calcium imaging analysis: Alignment of images and extraction of normalised traces
